tom is just so lestat about the whole thing.

Sadly, Thomas's custom fangs didn't make the grade. They had some kind of silly-putty-like stuff that (too) quickly hardened to the consistency of Michelin rubber, and was thus useless for sticking the fangs on to his incisors. TOo bad; they really made the outfit.

last time i took the boys to nickel world, tom was dead to buy a new set of choppers with his strips of tickets. he lingered in front of the case of cheap plastic toys and politely asked the man, "do you have any false fangs?" to his credit, the nice man didn't wet himself laughing, as i almost did when i heard tom's respectful, hopeful tone. "i'm sorry," the man said regretfully, "but we don't have any of those left. i'm hoping we'll get more soon."

boy sure loves his fangs.

fangs for the memories
